Best Roller I owned so far

The Roller Pro is an awesome piece of travel gear. Nicely designed, with a lot of helpful details. Worked very well on my last 2 trips. Looking forward to see it in combination with the new upcoming 20L Backpacks as well for larger trips with my Travel Backpack 45L.
The only downside is the weight... If PD could have it done with a bit less of weight I would rate it 6 stars.
I’m halfway through an extended European trip…so far the roller has been a star on planes, trains, automobiles and challenging cobblestone medieval streets. Highly efficient, high functioning, high capacity. This product is living up to my high hopes for the PD product.
I’ve had the Roller Pro since it was released. I’ve flown with it over a dozen times including internationally. I usually check it and carry on my PD Travel Backpack. The Roller Pro holds up to the abuse of baggage handlers, the fabric is tougher than any hard sided luggage big or small. Any unfortunate scuff that appears is easily wiped off. The wheels roll unbelievably smooth, the Roller Pro feels like it’s floating. If you want bags or luggage that doesn’t suck, then buy Peak Design bags. I’ve been traveling with them since 2018.
Upgraded to this bag after decades with a Lowepro roller bag. Been doing a lot of travel jobs recently and so far I’m loving it. It took a minute to reorganize things but I have it dialed in now and I’m stoked. If I could change anything, I wish there were multiple points where the handle could stop rather than always having to fully extend it. I have a Rimowa suitcase and that handle stops anywhere you want and I really love that feature. That’s just me though… besides missing that little feature, the bag is a 10/10
Recently I've purchased two roller pros, one for my husband and one for my niece as a college graduation present. I've borrowed my husband's to see how it compares to my beloved carry-on. The bag is fabulous in so may ways. Almost like magic it absorbs a lot of "stuff" into what appears to be a small amount of space and never any quibbles about it fitting into the overhead bin. My one complaint is that it rolls far too easily if the floor has even a minimal slant. There I was, sipping my coffee and the bag went for a stroll all on it's own across the floor. Luckily I caught sight of it as it silently took its leave. I have warned my niece to keep it on a leash.
I love everything about the Roller-Pro!! I bought two with Kickstarter, one for myself and another for my kid. We liked them so much I bought another for my other kid with the open release. Especially appreciate it for the one who has a bit of cerebral palsy. So much easier to use. I've taken mine in one international and two domestics flights. Still like new. The front opening is a game changer.
I wanted to love the Peak Design Roller Pro. And in many ways, I do.
The build quality is excellent. Materials feel premium. The engineering is thoughtful and clearly intentional. You can tell this wasn’t rushed to market — someone obsessed over the details.
That said, as someone who’s been traveling for business for more than three decades — and who lives out of a carry-on most weeks — it ultimately didn’t deliver on usable space the way I’d hoped.
Yes, there’s smart internal structuring. But to maximize capacity, you almost have to use packing cubes. If you love cubes, this may be a non-issue. I don’t. I prefer flexibility and the ability to adjust on the fly. Without cubes, the interior organization actually works against you a bit.
The laptop sleeve is where it really lost me. I don’t know a single heavy business traveler who stores their laptop inside their roller. It lives in a backpack or briefcase for airport access, meetings, lounges, and security. That dedicated sleeve takes up valuable real estate that could have been repurposed for expandable storage or a more flexible interior layout.
In short: beautifully built, impressively engineered, but not optimized for the way seasoned road warriors actually pack.
As much as I wanted this to be “the bag,” my Tumi still wins on practical capacity and real-world business travel usability.
Peak Design makes great gear. This just wasn’t it for me.
